Portable toilet cleaning and emptying – a complete guide 09 January 2023 In addition to our luxury portable toilet hire, we also provide a portable toilet emptying service for both ours and our customers’ own toilet units. This complete guide to our portable toilet cleaning service tells you everything you need to know. When you enter into a rental agreement with Fortis Hire, we will discuss your exact requirements in detail, and this will include, amongst other aspects of the hire, the number and type of units required, the length of hire, location, delivery and collection, plus the cleaning schedule for the units. Here we look at how often our units are emptied and how they are cleaned. Are portable toilets clean when they are delivered? Whether you are hiring standard portable toilets for a building site or a luxury toilet trailer for a wedding, Fortis Hire prides itself on the quality of the units we supply to all our customers. All clients want to know how clean portable toilets are; at the end of a hire period, all portable toilets are emptied and pumped dry by our own fleet of vacuum pump tracks before being steam cleaned to break down and remove odours, bacteria and dirt. Each unit is then deodorised thoroughly and stocked with toilet paper and other consumables including handwash and paper towels, where appropriate, before being delivered to the next customer in a clean and sanitary condition. How do you empty a portable toilet? One of our own waste service tankers will arrive on site where the tanker driver will pump the waste from the portable toilet unit into the tanker’s holding tank by means of a sealed system using suction technology. This ensures that maximum hygiene and safety standards are met. How often should you empty a portable toilet? This will depend on the number of units and the number of people using them, but the average single use plastic toilet is capable of holding enough sewage for 10 people over a full working week (40 hours) before becoming unsanitary. The frequency of emptying can of course be arranged at the point of contract to suit individual requirements but, generally, at least once or twice a week throughout a long term hire period would be sufficient.
